Terms & Conditions

Assist Scholar by Ezysphere · Version: 1.0 · Effective: 5 August 2026 · Last updated: 5 August 2026

These terms govern your use of Assist Scholar. They sit on top of the Ezysphere Terms of Service, which apply in full and which you should read as well. Where the two genuinely conflict, these Assist Scholar terms prevail - for Assist Scholar only, and only to the extent of the conflict.

1. Age and parental consent

1.1 You must be at least 13 to use Assist Scholar, or at least 16 in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, unless a parent or guardian consents where the applicable law allows.

1.2 If you are under 18, you may use the app only with the consent and involvement of a parent or guardian, who accepts these terms on your behalf, is responsible for your use of the app, and is responsible for any subscription charge incurred. You should not store identity or financial documents in the vault without their agreement.

1.3 If you are a parent, guardian, teacher or counsellor using the app to help a student, you are responsible for having their agreement - and, where they are a minor, the agreement of whoever is legally responsible for them - before putting their information or documents into the app.

2. What Assist Scholar is

Assist Scholar is a tool that helps you (a) find scholarship opportunities collected from publicly available sources, (b) save and organise the ones you are interested in, (c) set yourself reminders about their deadlines, (d) work through an application checklist, and (e) keep your application documents tidy and ready to upload. Premium adds a service that checks daily for scholarships you name.

That is the whole of what it does. Everything in clause 3 is what it does not do.

3. No affiliation, no advice

3.1 Ezysphere is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, partnered with, or acting as agent for any scholarship provider, sponsor, foundation, university, college, government, ministry, embassy or funding body whose opportunity appears in the app. Where the name or mark of such an organisation appears, it is used solely to identify the opportunity being described, and its appearance implies no relationship whatsoever.

3.2 We are not an education agent, recruitment agent, admissions consultancy, placement service or scholarship broker. We do not represent you to any institution, we do not submit applications on your behalf, we do not advocate for you, and we receive no commission, referral fee or other payment from any provider or institution in connection with your application.

3.3 Nothing in the app is advice. Assist Scholar does not provide, and must not be relied on as, legal advice, immigration or visa advice, admissions advice, careers advice, tax advice or financial advice. It does not assess your eligibility, and any indicator of "match" or "fit" is an automated comparison against the preferences you typed in - not an opinion about your prospects.

3.4 Immigration and study-abroad matters in particular. We do not advise on visas, immigration status, right to study or right to remain in any country. In several countries, including the United Kingdom, giving immigration advice without authorisation is a criminal offence - so we do not give it, and nothing in the app should be read as such. If you need immigration advice, consult a regulated adviser or the relevant government authority.

3.5 Using the app creates no professional, fiduciary, agency or advisory relationship between you and Ezysphere.

4. Scholarship listings

4.1 Listings are compiled from publicly available sources and are provided for information only.

4.2 We do not verify, endorse or guarantee any listing. A listing may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date, mistranslated, duplicated, superseded, suspended or withdrawn. Deadlines move. Award amounts change. Eligibility criteria are rewritten. An opportunity may be cancelled entirely, or may never have been genuine in the first place.

4.3 You must confirm every material detail against the provider's own official website before you rely on it - the deadline above all, and also the eligibility criteria, the required documents, the award amount and the application method. The app links you directly to that official source for exactly this reason.

4.4 We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, security, availability or practices of any third-party website the app links to, including a provider's application portal. Once you leave the app, our terms and our privacy policy no longer apply.

4.5 If you spot a listing that is wrong, expired or fraudulent, use the in-app report action or email us. We are grateful for it and we act on it, but we do not warrant that we will catch every error.

5. No guarantee of any outcome

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ezysphere makes no representation, warranty or guarantee that:

• you are eligible for any scholarship shown in the app;
• any application you make will be received, considered, shortlisted or successful;
• you will be awarded any funding, admitted to any institution, or granted any visa;
• any award shown will be paid, paid in the amount stated, or paid at all;
• the app will show you every scholarship you might qualify for, or any particular one; or
• using the app improves your chances of anything.

Decisions about awards, admissions and visas are made entirely by third parties over whom we have no influence and no control.

6. Deadlines and notifications

6.1 Reminders and alerts are provided on a best-effort basis and depend on things outside our control: your device being on and having storage and battery, your notification permissions, your quiet-hours and frequency settings, your operating system's battery-optimisation and background-execution behaviour, your network connection, and the availability of the push service.

6.2 A notification may therefore be delayed, delivered at the wrong time, delivered more than once, or not delivered at all. A deadline in a listing may itself be wrong, in which case a reminder set from it will be wrong too.

6.3 To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ezysphere is not liable for any missed deadline, missed application, missed opportunity or lost funding, whether it arises from a notification that did not arrive, a notification that arrived late, an incorrect deadline in a listing, an interruption to the service, or any other cause.

6.4 Keep the deadlines that matter to you in your own calendar as well. The app offers an "add to calendar" action precisely so you can.

7. Fees and scam warning

7.1 Ezysphere never charges you to apply for a scholarship. Assist Scholar's only charge is its own optional Premium subscription, paid to an app store. We take no application fee, no processing fee, no placement fee and no commission of any kind.

7.2 Genuine scholarships do not ask you to pay to apply. If any listing, message, email, call or person asks you for an application fee, a "processing" or "clearance" fee, a deposit, a bank transfer, gift cards, cryptocurrency, your bank credentials, your card PIN or a one-time password, treat it as fraudulent.

7.3 Nobody from Ezysphere will ever contact you asking for money, for your password, or for a one-time password. If someone claims to represent Ezysphere or Assist Scholar and asks for any of those things, they are not us. Report it to apps@ezysphere.com and to your local authorities.

7.4 We are not responsible for any loss you suffer by dealing with a third party you found through a listing. Verify who you are dealing with at the official source before you send anyone anything.

8. The Scholarship Watcher

8.1 The Watcher is a premium feature that checks publicly available sources on a scheduled basis, generally daily, for scholarships matching terms you supply, and notifies you when it finds a match.

8.2 The Watcher is best-effort and is not comprehensive. It searches a limited set of sources, it can miss a match, it can report a false match, and it cannot see anything that is not publicly published. It does not monitor the whole internet.

8.3 A watch is not a subscription to a provider, an application, a registration of interest, or any form of contact with them. Being watched confers nothing.

8.4 Watch slots are limited by your plan. You may hold a temporary slot by spending points, in which case it expires as stated when you activate it.

8.5 We operate the Watcher responsibly: we honour robots.txt, identify our crawler honestly, rate-limit our requests, cache aggressively, and prefer official feeds and APIs where a source offers them. We may add, change or remove a source at any time, including where a source asks us to stop.

8.6 We may suspend or limit the Watcher where a source requires it, where the cost of operating it becomes unsustainable, or where it is being abused.

9. The document vault

9.1 The vault stores files on your own device. Cloud backup is optional and off unless you switch it on. See the Assist Scholar Privacy Policy.

9.2 You are responsible for what you put in it. You must have the right to hold every document you store, and where a document contains another person's information - a referee's letter, a family financial statement, a parent's identity document - you must have their agreement.

9.3 Do not store anything unlawful, and do not store a forged, altered or fraudulently obtained document. We do not verify, authenticate, certify or endorse any document, and the fact that a document sits in the vault says nothing about its genuineness.

9.4 The vault is not a backup service. Files live on your device and go when the app goes. Keep your own independent copies of anything you cannot afford to lose. Where cloud backup is enabled we take reasonable care, but we do not guarantee against loss and you should still keep your own copies.

9.5 Document tools - rename, compress, convert, scan - process files on your device. Compression is lossy by design: check that a compressed or converted document is still legible and complete before you submit it anywhere. We are not liable for a document rejected by a portal because of its size, format, name or quality.

9.6 Storage quotas apply by tier. Exceeding a quota prevents new additions until you free space or upgrade; it does not delete what you already have.

10. Points, streaks and referrals

10.1 Points in Assist Scholar are earned, never bought. They let you sample premium features temporarily. They have no cash value, cannot be transferred, purchased or redeemed for money, and are governed by clause 10 of the Ezysphere Terms.

10.2 Streaks, freeze tokens and milestone rewards are promotional mechanics granted at our discretion. We may change their rates, caps and rewards at any time.

10.3 Referral rules. A referral must be a genuine new user. Creating accounts for people who do not exist, using multiple devices or email addresses to refer yourself, buying or selling referral codes, spamming your code, or any other manipulation is prohibited. We validate referrals on the server and may withhold, reverse or cancel rewards, and suspend accounts, where we reasonably believe a referral is not genuine.

10.4 Points and rewards are forfeited when an account is closed or terminated.

11. Premium subscription

11.1 Premium is a recurring subscription bought through Google Play, the Apple App Store or the Microsoft Store. It renews automatically at the then-current price at the end of each billing period until you cancel.

11.2 Where a free trial is offered, it converts into a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless you cancel before it ends. You are charged at the start of each period, so cancel at least 24 hours before a period ends to avoid the next charge.

11.3 Cancel in the store you subscribed with - its subscription settings - not by emailing us and not by deleting the app. Deleting the app or your account does not cancel the subscription and you will keep being charged.

11.4 Cancelling stops future renewals. Premium runs to the end of the period you have already paid for. Refunds are governed by the store's refund policy and handled by the store; we cannot reverse a store transaction. Your statutory rights are unaffected - see clause 11.4 of the Ezysphere Terms.

11.5 When Premium ends, premium features stop. Your documents are not deleted, but where you exceed the free storage quota you will not be able to add new files until you free space, and cloud backup stops until you resubscribe. Watch terms above the free allowance become inactive rather than being deleted.

11.6 We will give reasonable advance notice of a price increase and you may cancel before it takes effect.

12. Notices from scholarship providers

If you are a scholarship provider, sponsor or institution and you believe a listing about your programme is inaccurate, out of date, or should not appear, email apps@ezysphere.com with the programme name, the correction or removal you want, and a way to verify that you represent the organisation. We will review promptly and correct or remove the listing where the request is well founded. The same address handles requests to exclude a domain from our crawler, and copyright or trade mark notices under clause 15.4 of the Ezysphere Terms.

13. Prohibited use

In addition to clause 5 of the Ezysphere Terms, you must not:

• scrape, harvest, bulk-export or republish the listing data in the app, or use it to build a competing directory, dataset or service;
• use the app to solicit students, advertise agent or consultancy services, or promote any paid application service;
• upload a forged, altered or fraudulently obtained document, or use the app in connection with any fraudulent application;
• store another person's documents or personal information without their agreement;
• manipulate points, streaks or referrals as described in clause 10.3; or
• use the Watcher to monitor anything other than scholarship opportunities, or to circumvent a source's access controls.

14. Liability

14.1 The disclaimers and limitations in clauses 9, 17 and 18 of the Ezysphere Terms apply in full to Assist Scholar, together with clauses 5 and 6 above.

14.2 In particular, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, Ezysphere is not liable for any lost funding, lost scholarship, lost place, missed deadline, rejected or incomplete application, wasted application effort, or any consequential loss arising from an inaccurate listing, an undelivered or mistimed notification, an unavailable service, a Watcher miss, a document rejected by a third-party portal, or a decision made by any provider or institution.

14.3 Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

15. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access, without refund of points, where you breach clause 13, manipulate referrals, upload unlawful material, or otherwise materially breach these terms or the Ezysphere Terms. Where it is reasonable and lawful, we will tell you why and give you a chance to put it right. Terminating your account does not cancel a store subscription - you must do that in the store.

16. Everything else

Licence, acceptable use, intellectual property, warranties, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law (Nigeria), dispute resolution, your consumer rights and all other general provisions are set out in the Ezysphere Terms of Service and apply to Assist Scholar in full. Privacy is covered by the Assist Scholar Privacy Policy and the Ezysphere Privacy Policy.
